The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Toned back the horrible contrast; let me know if it needs more adjusting, will you? Now working on... labels. erm. Unreadable squiggles that pass for labels because I'm too lazy to think up names and 'cause I believe squiggles leave more room for imagination. And... I'm lazy. The ones with dots are spot on their final locations. Sorry. The rest I haven't decided on placement yet.
